Getting Ready for College? A Career Training Program? Your First Real Job? Whatever Your Next Step in Life, Combine the Subject Knowledge You're Getting in School with the 10 Skills Top Colleges & Companies Want MOST THE GREAT EXPECTATIONS PROGRAM For High-Potential Teenagers (GET) A Fortune 500 COLLEGE READINESS & CAREER READINESS Process |
ABOUT GREAT EXPECTATIONS Every young person between the ages of 13 and 19 is a "high-potential teenager," with a vast reservoir of promise and latent leadership ability just waiting to be developed. The key to capitalizing fully on all of that potential, however, lies in unlocking it early in life when habits are still developing, and important decisions about college and a career path have yet to be made. And that's exactly what the Great Expectations process is designed to do. The Great Expectations Program for High-Potential Teenagers (GET) is a new Fortune 500 college & career readiness process that builds and reinforces the 10 life and leadership skills top colleges and companies say they want most today in new students and employees. It brings out everything you'd expect in serious-minded teens, while also being the only process of its type in the marketplace today proven to raise grades and teen aspirations, reduce bullying and school drop-out rates and markedly strengthen school cultures. Based on the world-class content and training techniques at America's top corporate universities, the process was designed and written by leadership expert, Dr. Franklin C. Ashby, with research and editorial assistance from Dr. Arthur R. Pell. Over 4 million people in 85 countries have participated in leadership programs designed or directed by Drs. Ashby and Pell, including managers and executives from all of the Fortune 500. The goal from the outset for Great Expectations was to design the best, most results-producing college readiness and career readiness process for teenagers ever, then price it within the financial reach of every family and school district in America. Great Expectations student and facilitator courseware is available to quality secondary schools and youth organizations anxious to offer a college-level development process as a curriculum supplement or extracurricular activity. Delivered conveniently on school premises by just one local school faculty member, the process begins with a 24-session "core" sequence delivered over a 12-week period, followed by two unique reinforcement phases, Embed and Encore, that strengthen and solidify new skills throughout the high school career of each student. The combining of these three essential elements into one seamless training process is what gives Great Expectations its unrivaled impact, and enables it to generate a result of extraordinary long-term value to participants. Great Expectations is intended for serious-minded teenagers in Grades 7-12 motivated by the chance to take a corporate-quality leadership process prior to high school graduation. Students beginning the core process in the 7th grade and participating in 2 hours per week of reinforcement training will accumulate 500 hours of world-class college readiness and career readiness skills training by the time they graduate from high school - - or about 10-times more than the nearest adult competitors to Great Expectations and about 20-times more than the average of all publicly-available leadership processes. Ashby Learning Systems is confident that Great Expectations is the best, most results-producing college and career readiness process for teenagers in the marketplace today, and the perfect way to bring into better balance the acquiring of critical knowledge and the acquiring of critical life and leadership skills during middle school and high school. If you believe a world-class leadership process from the best of the Fortune 500 will give your teen, school or youth organization a vital edge, we invite you to take a good look at what Great Expectations has to offer.

It's totally fun, focused and packed with cool surprises, no question. But beyond that, every session of the Great Expectations core program is also linked to every other session via a unique proprietary design process called The Weave. Weave training programs generate results far beyond those based only on traditional building-block methods because of the complex network of linkages (weaves) contained between and throughout the content of each session. Weave designs take considerably longer to write and test than the vast majority of leadership programs available today, and can cost up to several million dollars to develop. When combined with comprehensive reinforcement provisions like Embed and Encore, they generate a result of unequaled quality and value. Click HERE for the details! (*) Discount pricing available to qualified schools and youth organizations. Contact The Leadership Capital Group LLC for details. All courseware and textbook fees are typically paid by the family of each participant or by (locally-arranged) corporate or community sponsors, not from school budgets. Schools provide the instruction on school premises typically during after-school hours. Only one school faculty member per class is required. |

From Don Dunbar, author of WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN KEEP YOU OUT OF COLLEGE! "Every applicant to Harvard, Yale and Princeton has great grades, courses and test scores. So how do top schools decide who gets in and who doesn't? They look for evidence of critical non-cognitive skills and qualities: Outstanding character, superb leadership ability, strong communications and interpersonal skills. Great Expectations builds these critical skills and abilities better, faster and more completely than any program I've ever seen. It is simply the ideal developmental process for every college-bound teenager." Don Dunbar Founder Dunbar Educational Consultants ******* |

Great Expectations is the only process I've seen that consistently delivers results as good or better than any of the top Fortune 500 programs for executives.

It delivers everything that teenagers from various backgrounds and interests need to prepare for a happy, productive and satisfying life.
